Time To Laugh

 

I stood upon the weekend’s cusp,
Your grace whispered to me
Of peace and rest, of joy and light,
As I want it to be.
 
Opps, I must have heard You wrong,
The power just went out.
Oh yes, You have a sense of humor,
Of that, there is no doubt!
 
Okay, I’ll take this all in stride,
Like I did yesterday.
Knowing that I still get time to
Hang out with You today.
 
Six hours, I was being told,
But with humidity,
That isn’t quite as funny as
It otherwise would be.
 
I made my plans and packed things up
To go visit a friend.
Then, just before I hit the road
Power came back again.
 
I still can hear the laughter drift
Down from heaven above.
Okay, You’ve got me laughing, too,
As push comes down to shove.
 
Some days I have to just sit back
And admit once again,
The power to control our lives
Does not belong to man!
 
I love spending time in Your peace,
But now and then I do
Enjoy the chance to sit and laugh
As I spend time with You!
 
Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
